Installation Manual
Thank You For Choosing IDS to Protect You
Congratulations on your purchase of an IDS X-series alarm panel with aXess integration. IDS X-series panels are
powerful, versatile and highly configurable security systems, which should be installed by a professionally trained
installer.
This aXess Installation manual covers the aXess installation information and is not a complete X-Series guide. The
majority of panel features are programmable only by an IDS-accredited installer in possession of the INSTALLER CODE.
For information on programming the X-Series Alarm panel please refer to the appropriate manual. All user manuals can
be downloaded from www.idsprotect.com. Installer manuals can be downloaded if you are registered with IDS as a
company and have created an account on the website.

Introduction
aXess is the perfect way to extend the functionality of an alarm panel by including access control for up to eight
doors. Each door has an interface that can be installed in two configurations:
1. Two readers: one on each side of the door for entry and exit.
2. One reader: one for entry and a push button for exit.
Access tags can be linked to alarm codes to be able to arm and disarm the alarm.
Clear Interface Memory
When powering up for the first time and the aXess readers do not show the correct LEDs short the “RESET” jumper (see
fig 3) for three seconds.

Door Switch Enabled – Enable this setting if a door contact is installed and you want to allocate a zone to the door to
monitor the door for forced open or held open situations.
Deny Entry if Armed – When enabled this option will disable the system from allowing anybody access through the
door if the door is allocated to the armed partition.
Arm/Disarm Reader – When enabled this option allows a tag allocated to an arm/disarm user code to arm or
disarm the system, depending on the state of the alarm, by holding the tag for three seconds in front of the
reader.
Access Reader – When disabled the reader will not function as an access reader. If the reader is an arm/disarm reader
and access is disabled it will allow the alarm to be armed or disarmed.
Note: The tag must have been allocated a valid alarm user code (defined below). The user code properties will define
the mode or type of arming.
Fire Door – If a door is enabled as a fire door and a fire alarm is triggered all fire doors will automatically unlock
Off Line Mode – if the interface loses communication with the panel due to a break in the communications bus
line, it will continue to operate as an access reader, but arm / disarm functionality will be disabled, and arm
status will not be shown.
Door Left Open Beep – If the door is monitored by a door magnet (Door Switch must be enabled) and left open for 30
seconds the reader will beep for 15 seconds to draw attention to the door being open. Disable if this feature is not
required
Forced Door Monitoring – This feature will raise an alarm if the door is opened without presenting an authorised tag
first. Door contact must be enabled and configured.
